With the recent addition of a DSL connection to our home, I have started using an RSS reader to check various feeds every day. One nice feature of the Craigslist bulletin-board system is that any search term can be saved as an RSS feed – for example, I search the San Francisco and Sacramento boards for "mission," "oak," "craftsman," "prairie," and "stickley" every day. I’ve seen a number of interesting items, and since you’re usually buying from individuals – often people cleaning out relatives’ estates – and not dealers, the prices are pretty good. For example: a Berkeley Mills cherry bed for way below list; an A&C drafting or side table; an oak rocking chair; a brass fireplace wood holder; an L&JG design tabouret; a repro lamp from Restoration Hardware.
Looking for a 1940’s/1950’s era tabouret for a museum exhibit. Help! Have not been successful in finding it and time is running out.
